Today’s Reflection: Do all the good you can.

By all the means you can.

In all the ways you can.

In all the places you can.

At all the times you can.

To all the people you can.

As long as ever you can. — John Wesley, English cleric, theologian

Today’s Reflection: I SIT IN SILENCE to start my day. I sit in silence to forget me and open to God. I sit in silence to be filled with God’s love. I sit in silence to be healed by God. I sit in silence to be transformed by God. I sit in silence because it teaches me how to live. I sit in silence. — Bodmin Hermit

Today’s Reflection –  SILENCE, THEN A BIT MORE:

Go deeper past thought into silence

past silence into stillness

past stillness into the heart.

Let love consume all that is left of you.— Bodmin Hermit, Franciscan hermit living in Cornwall, England.
